#3 - here problem is they are putting out the same characters over and over and over at least in stores I am so tired of seeing Batman, Superman, Green Lantern on the shelf that I refuse to buy them I do not have space to waste on the same figure 9 or 10 times. And yes I would want them in Slots or why would I ask for them

...you really don't understand how retail works, do you?

Retailers can't order "half a case" or some such nonsense. Did it never cross your mind someone bought the figures you never found, before you got there? If not another customer, than an employee?
Because that's how real life works.
As for Number three, Mattel has gone on record many maaaany times that retail is going to focus on the hardcore a-list characters, like multiple batmen and supermen. Why? Because IT SELLS. These are the characters the kids want, who low and behold, are their target customers. It allows them to make money so they can spend money on the CIE, which they said will be getting the characters you and I want. In a perfect world, batman and superman turn up only once in a while, and we would have gotten Wally West years ago, instead of four near identical releases of Barry (Before you get to blue and white lanterns). But the world we live in is the world we have. And Club Infin ite Earths is their solution to continue giving us the c and lower list characters.

Dr Kain gave you exceptionally valid, and extremely polite answers to your common-sense questions.
Everything he said, he hit the nail on the head.
